#Dictatorship

The complete meltdown of Hungary under the Magyar dictatorship continues. No one is going to invest in this basket case. The whole region thinks the country has become highly unstable and even pro-EU people I know whisper that they didn’t expect this. Very sad. 🇭🇺 https://t.co/DpJofkk1mT #Hungary #MagyarDictatorship #PoliticalInstability #HU

I believe the dictatorship has to end, and the Castro dynasty has to end, as well. Because as long as there is a Castro in power, there will be corruption.

Trump, stand with the Iranian people. No more failed diplomacy that strengthens the regime. No more empty promises. No more endless ceasefires that leave the dictatorship in power. The people of Iran deserve freedom, democracy, human rights, and a government chosen by them. The https://t.co/1P1QzL4LIj #Iran #Freedom #HumanRights #IR

Putin looks old and defeated. He knows it's only a matter of time before his own people turn on him. Less than a year ago, the dictator was discussing immortality with Xi Jinping. Now, he's facing the certainty of defeat and his own mortality. https://t.co/Qvyh0oiVWI #Putin #Defeat #Dictatorship #RU #CN

Russia has not changed its strategic objectives, because as a dictator, Putin simply cannot stop short of them. He will either be forced to retreat under overwhelming pressure - risking the loss of his power, and possibly his life - or he will continue pursuing them despite #Putin #Russia #Dictatorship #RU

The war has accelerated Iran’s drift toward becoming a military dictatorship with an Islamic gloss, and has fortified a political Islam committed to anti-Zionism and resisting US influence in the Middle East. This war has empowered the hard-liners in Iran https://t.co/fa9Rkpz9hw #Iran #PoliticalIslam #MiddleEastConflict #IR #US

Lisbon's Câmara Municipal held an extraordinary session on Wednesday after it emerged that a Polícia de Segurança Pública (PSP) chief, on secondment to the city's Municipal Police, was a member of the Movimento Armilar Lusitano (MAL), a neo-Nazi group now accused of 29 crimes including terrorism. The officer accessed the personal data of Prime Minister Luís Montenegro and Lisbon Mayor Carlos Moedas from inside the Municipal Police systems. Expresso reported last week that the group maintained a "Lista dos Indesejáveis" of more than 170 individuals and entities considered targets, including elected officials, activists, and journalists. According to the public prosecutor's indictment, the group discussed kidnapping the Prime Minister or launching a grenade at his residence. Bloco de Esquerda's Carolina Serrão raised the alarm at the Câmara session, calling it "a grave breach of data protection and security systems." She demanded to know whether the executive had prior knowledge, what internal investigations had been conducted, and what measures were being taken to prevent it from happening again. The Câmara voted unanimously (with Chega abstaining) to "condemn firmly all forms of neo-Nazi, racist, xenophobic, and anti-democratic ideology," to condemn any attempts at intimidation or violence against elected officials, and to demand rigorous accountability for the presence of extremist-linked individuals within public security forces. For Lisbon residents, the story is unsettling on two levels. A serving police officer with neo-Nazi affiliations was embedded inside the city's own police force, with access to systems containing personal data of the country's most senior elected officials. And the group was not a fringe internet forum. MAL is accused of terrorism by the public prosecutor, with an organisational structure, a target list of 170+ names, and discussions about kidnapping the PM and attacking his residence. The broader question: how was a PSP chief with these affiliations seconded to the Municipal Police without detection? The vetting that should have caught this either failed or didn't happen. The Câmara's vote is a statement of values. Whether it leads to structural reform of police vetting and data access protocols is what matters next. Bottom line: A neo-Nazi officer was inside Lisbon's police force, accessing the PM's personal data, while the group he belonged to discussed kidnapping Montenegro and launching a grenade at his residence. The Câmara condemned it. Now the system has to explain how it happened. From the Lisbon Letter. As we can see,Trumps Neofasciste shit spreads everywhere,and European leaders accept,let him do and sometimes do the same... seems they are almost happy with this kind of dictatorship...

Book bans don't work. They never have. The Catholic Church tried for four centuries. The Soviets tried. Every dictatorship has tried. The result is always the same: forbidden books become essential reading. American school boards are now running the western world's most effective book marketing campaign — entirely free of charge. https://open.substack.com/pub/nordicledger/p/the-best-way-to-sell-a-book-in-america?r=mwsn6&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

The Best Way to Sell a Book in America? Get It Banned

Ramachandra Guha's sleight on Rahul Gandhi has made people reassess RG and it has worked in his favour. Looking back, I think I was wrong to see Guha's hatchet job as a sabotage. It might be a clever attempt to get attention on RG. Last night was revealing for other reasons too. India doesn't want to stand too close to Pakistan in these times. For a legitimate reason. India manages to keep safe distance from the Pakistani terror factories through a complex balancing act. Current government, despite its positive limelight at this time, has manipulated the actual mandate and undermined it. And that mandate is far more fierce and dangerous if they consider India as hostile or undermining their claim to power. There are things that India can still do, but then, I am too far out to send my brain farts. For now, it remains on Pakistan to find other industries that can overtake its security business importance. Not yet visible on horizon sadly. Americans are desperate to get a one up on China. And they need 3-4 years for it. Meanwhile, China is one, max two years away from ensuring its development model to continue irrespective of rest of the world, mostly the western world. One of the most critical components of Chinese capabilities is its EUV machine. For USA, the challenge is to delay it or sabotage it. And it is running out of time. The only possibility it has to disrupt China is to weaponize space. That will bring about a clash of titans. Chinese interference in Indian economy and politics will grow now. I had written in past also about the need for a strong India for a prosperous China. Unfortunately, the simulatenous rise of both power powers didn't happen. India chose a servile path to predictability alongside a crumbling empire. Chinese and Indian social media ecosystems are almost entirely separate. But Indians dominate the mass/volume of the global interface for the Chinese. Besides, the great Chinese wall isn't that unbreachable. Indians have responded with raising a terrible stink to Chinese attempts of infiltrating with their propaganda campaigns at higher levels. Chinese attempts for a high quality heli-dropping of propaganda has slowed down for now, but it will return. Indian side lacks the depths and variety in arsenals. My fear is Chinese side will sidestep the routine propaganda and go for serious below-the-radar sabotage where they have a massive edge now. Is it possible that India is looking at a situation where a clean face becomes the PM and the current prick face becomes the President for life sort of thing? Initial thoughts. This might be a simple way to get rid of the American blackmail of this moron. Or the more likely path of a massive crackdown and rise of single party dictatorship?

Irandeal is een vernedering voor Donald Trump. Maar veel meer nog een drama voor de miljoenen Iraniërs die moeten (blijven) leven in een meedogenloze dictatuur, waarvoor bij progressief Europa helaas zelfs enige sympathie bestaat. #Iran #Trump #Dictatorship

Belgium allows this support to aggressive dictatorship to continue. I've tried to get Lisin on sanction list and will continue the effort until it happens. #Belgium #Sanctions #Dictatorship #BE

Today, as we honor the heroes of D-Day, we must understand a fundamental truth: freedom is not free, and it is not guaranteed forever. It must be defended every single day, through our choices, through European solidarity, and through an absolute refusal to yield to dictatorship https://t.co/ePwyAN3avb #DDay #Freedom #EuropeanSolidarity #EU

Despite almost Pavlovian support in most international media, the corrupt Iranian regime will eventually fail and crumble, like so many other dictatorships. Israel will outlast this enemy too. #Iran #Dictatorships #Israel #IR #IL
